[CCWG-ACCT] Meeting with CCWG Advisors

[Chris LaHatte]

I disagree with some of the views (from Carrie) about the audit. A corporate 
auditor has very specific requirements as to independence and heavy 
responsibility in conducting such an audit. The major audit firms such as BDO 
have substantial professional indemnity insurance, because of that very heavy 
responsibility. To suggest they are not doing an independent job is with 
respect, wrong, because the role is not understood properly. The audits talked 
about by others like Paul are on different issues, but still overlooks the 
purpose of the role of BDO.
